CHAPTER 26.Amelia's POVThe reason why I would never escape Cassius' clutches was not because I wasn't smart. On the contrary, living with him had made me smarter than most people my age. It was because I always let my guard down at some point especially when I knew over and over again that Cassius was nothing but a monster that preyed on the fear of others. My mistake this time was sleeping with both eyes closed, just because he had ordered me to. Because I didn't realize when he returned to the room or when he tied my hands and legs to the bed, with my chest facing the bed. I didn't realize that Cassius was ready to play games with me until the first lash touched my rear and I screamed, opening my eyes in surprise as water started to trickle down my cheeks. Normally, he would delay before he lashed me again, going on to taunt me about whatever pleased him but this time, he was impatient and I interpreted that to mean that he was very upset. Whether it was because of something

CHAPTER 27.Amelia's POVHave you ever felt your heart break and mend itself almost immediately?That was what happened the minute Damien stormed out of my room, his face hard with anger, and came back in, holding a small bowl and a towel. I had thought for sure that when he had left, he was ashamed of what he saw, that he was disgusted because he knew whose room I had come from and he could smell my wounds and know that Cassius had yet again hurt me. I didn't realize that I was really hoping that he would come back until he entered the room again. And as we stared at each other from where he stood at the threshold, a part of me wanted to smile at him and tell him to come closer but another part, the more rational part knew that what I should be doing was sending him away because I knew Cassius might come here or send for me and the last thing that I wanted was for him to find out that the Alpha was in my room. As if he could see the internal battle that I was having as I lay on m

CHAPTER 28.Amelia's POVThe look in Cassius' eyes as he took me in and the entire room was pure unadulterated rage and I shook in terror, wondering if Damien's scent lingered in the room. The fact that I knew that he was going to be upset that I had left his room without permission could have never prevented me from the horror that I felt when I saw the way his eyes turned red and his fangs came out as he growled at me. He looked so mad, I wondered if he was really just angry about me leaving the room or if there was something else that made him this angered. Before I could speak, he slapped me so hard, I fell to the ground and kicked at all the scented candles that were placed by my bed."You little dirty tramp! You love all the attention you're getting, don't you? You love to see me mad, right? I'm about to show you just how mad I can be!" He roared and dragged me by the hair out of the room. I screamed and tried to get him to set me free but his grip was too strong. He pulled m

Damien's POVPowerless. I didn't know that there was ever a time I could feel powerless until I met my mate as a slave to a vampire lord. It gave me nightmares to just think about what she had gone through since she had the misfortune of falling into the hands of such a snake and it pained me that she continued to go through it. My hands had never felt so tied before in my entire life and it was a struggle to not go and remove his head from his shoulder but it was not that simple. I had just signed a peace treaty. That was why I had come here and it would be an all-out war if I didn't proceed with caution. That was the only way I tried to remain calm even though my entire body itched to get rid of Cassius every time he so much as smiled at Amelia or hurt her.I knew that I was putting her at risk every time I spoke to her or asked her to come to me but I was worried about her. I had heard her screams not long after I had left her room but by the time I rushed out, she had disappe
Torn between the Alpha and Vampire Lord Chap 30
Amelia's POV I knew that I was having another nightmare when I opened my eyes and saw myself in the woods in the middle of the dark, wearing a white dress stained with blood. I was also aware that until my body was ready to wake up, I would be stuck here no matter what. It wouldn't matter if I screamed at the top of my lungs for help. No help was coming. Nobody was coming to save me and the earlier I accepted that, the quicker I could start running from the monster in the woods that was out to get me. Because I was trapped in my own mind and there was no way out. Swallowing hard as I looked around and couldn't even find the light of the moon, I struggled to find my way in the dark, running as fast as my legs could carry me. I heard nothing but the sound of my feet on the sand as I fled and the beating of my heart as it ran faster than normal. Even the animals that were in the forest were nonexistent. It was just me and the monster that I knew was in the woods, who I knew woul

Amelia's POVIt had been so long since I enjoyed the kind of peace of just sitting with someone and I didn't realize that tears filled my eyes at that simple gesture until she rose to her feet and turned around to look at me. I held her hand and when she smiled gently, I sniffed and feigned a smile. "Thank you for coming here tonight," I whispered because I was indeed grateful. I had wondered how I would be able to make it with my thoughts alone in this room, especially after that incident with Cassius and she had come to my rescue. She nodded and gently squeezed my hand. "How are you? How are your injuries?" She asked and before I could respond, she shook her head and headed toward my bathroom. "Let me make you a hot bath. To soothe your stiff bones." She said and entered the bathroom before I could object. I knew that Cassius would be furious if he found Elizabeth here trying to care for me and the last thing I wanted to do was put her in a precarious situation and allow her t

Chapter 32Amelia's POV"I don't know about you, but I would like to save dinner for later because there is something I want the two of you to see."I had no idea why my chest caved in when Cassius said that he wanted to show Damien and I something. Maybe it was his smirk, or the way he casually relaxed as he looked to Damien, waiting for his agreement.He didn't need to ask for mine because technically, I had no choice in the matter; but it felt like he was testing Damien to see what he was going to do.Damien's face had been pale since Cassius slapped me, and when he looked at me where I was still sitting on the ground, he finally nodded his consent at Cassius.Looking at me with glee, Cassius offered me his hand to help me up and I looked at him skeptically, waiting for the other slap to drop."Don't you want to stand up to see what I have to show you?" He whispered as he bent to gently caress my hair. I nodded quickly, even though my entire body was screaming at me to tell him no.

CHAPTER 33.Amelia's POV"Did you know that today makes it two weeks since the wolves came to stay with us?" Blair said to one of the other maids as they did the dishes and my eyes widened in surprise. I didn't realize that today made it just two weeks since that fateful day when Damien had arrived at the mansion. It felt like it was already a couple of months since he came into my life and turned it upside down. I could never forget how I had felt when I first saw him. His entire presence had been so overwhelming as his eyes scanned the crowd of people and finally landed on me. It had felt like I was under a spell as I stared right back at him, my heart pounding in my chest and my legs almost losing their strength. Back then, I could have never imagined in my entire life that I would be an Alpha's mate or that it would nearly cost me my life many times because of merely being seen with him. Acting like I was not listening to their conversation in the kitchen, I continued chopp

Torn between the Alpha and Vampire Lord EPILOGUE
EPILOGUE*Six years later Amelia's POVDreams did come true, I thought as I walked into the woods and stood far away from where my mate was playing with our daughter, Kiara, watching them with a wide smile. She was the spitting image of her father, took his hair, his eyes, everything, and even his smile. The only thing that she probably got from me was my creamy skin and I had not one complaint at all. In fact, it made me smile every time I watched the two of them bicker about something which was almost every time these days, quickly reminding them that they could settle it since they looked very much alike. She threw a punch in the air at Damien which he evaded with ease, but not too much ease that made me realize that he was actually letting her off easy. She tried again and this time that I saw that she was so close to landing a punch but he caught her hand and shook his head, squatting as he ruffled her hair. "Listen to me, Kiara, we have been over this time and again. You are

Amelia's POVI did not think that I would be able to pull this off but looking at the table now, I was proud of what I was able to achieve. The dining hall was large enough to take over fifty people and with the chairs that we added, it was large enough to take almost everybody interested in enjoying this banquet.I had learned that Damien's mother as Luna used to organize something like this and I could see how it was going to help to foster togetherness.Damien had been skeptical about allowing me to do it, quickly reminding me that I was pregnant and that I did not need to do any heavy lifting but I had made sure that it didn't matter, not when I knew that it would be something that people would remember me to, with fondness in their hearts.I felt a sense of pride when I saw everyone digging into their breakfast and having looks of approval. I turned to glance at Blair and she was wearing an equally proud smile on her face. We had done this together with the help of some maids of

Amelia’s POV“How about this one?” Elena asked, her eyes bright as she held up a black sleeveless blouse and a skirt that was probably going to stop mid-thigh, her eyes bright with excitement. “Nope,” I answered, my eyes fixed on the television as I chewed away yet another bag of chips. My appetite had returned with a vengeance after the last couple of weeks that had consisted of vomiting spells and zero appetite. Elizabeth had said that it was because I had passed the first trimester of pregnancy and was now in my second. “Okay, this one is perfect. Why don’t you wear this one?” She came to stand in front of me, holding up a short blue dress that was probably as lovely as the rest but I was not interested, the same with all of the other options that she had chosen for me. I already knew what I was going to wear from the beginning, since the moment she entered the room and told me that I was going out with her and that it was going to be in thirty minutes. “Oh come on, Amelia, so w

Damien's POVI knew that Amelia would probably roll her eyes if I said this to her but she was hands down the most beautiful woman that I had laid eyes on. Perhaps it was the mating bond speaking but it didn't matter. I was hopelessly irrevocably in love with her. She sat beside me, the first aid box on her lap, and opened her hand for me to give her my bruised knuckles. I fought the urge to tumble her on the bed and kiss her senselessly because she looked less than pleased at my injuries even though they didn't hurt and would heal on their own. "It was nothing serious," I said again. When I had told her the first time, she had raised her eyebrows at me in a scolding fashion. It would have looked really threatening if I was not a big bad werewolf that was probably two times her size and towered over most people in the pack, including her. I stifled my amusement at how adorable she was because I knew that she would not appreciate that sort of thing. "I heard you the first time, Al

Amelia's POVThe silence in the kitchen was deafening and the entire atmosphere was very tense after my statement. I was well aware that if I did not do so something to diffuse this, things were going to escalate beyond measure but I had had enough of Nikki, from her passive-aggressive behavior to hurting people like they were not human beings and looking at others from beneath her nose like she was higher than every one of them. Her momentary shock at my statement was quick to fade and she pulled her arm away from my grasp and frowned at me. "Oh and what do we have here? So you really think that just because people have accepted you that you can go around calling yourself Luna and expect people to do what you want? I rolled my eyes, almost chuckling to myself.She continued, "It seems that you have forgotten your place, have you not? You are a slave like her, perhaps that is why you feel so strongly that I am teaching her a lesson." "You bitch!" Elena roared and tried to reach he

Amelia's POVIt had been one month since I moved back to the pack. There was a calendar in the bedroom which I marked every day once I woke up and when I did today, the smile on my face widened as I circled the date. One whole month had passed since I returned with Damien. It had been one month since Cassius was finally defeated.It had been a whole month and even though I had had a couple of nightmares between now and then, whenever I woke up, it was with Damien by my side, holding me tight and reminding me that I was no longer stuck back in that mansion. That I was no longer a slave to a vampire lord that was obsessed with me. That I was no longer living in bondage but free. Being Luna was wonderful here. Everyone had been nothing but so pleasant and supportive, allowing me to ease into the role at my own pace, no matter how slow that was. I was still adjusting to being a very important member of the pack and fortunately, my mate was the most patient and wonderful teacher one coul

Amelia's POVAs the girl, whose name I still did not know but whose face I would never forget wrapped her hands around Damien's neck and pulled him in for an intimate hug, all I could think about was the way she had been with me when I first came to the pack. The very first time that I had fled from Cassius and the words that she had said to me when everyone else had been nothing but caring."Oh? You don't want to know what I know about you? You don't want to know that I know how you were Cassius' slave for many years before you were brought here? You don't want to know how I know that you were not just a slave, but one used solely for sex?"We both know that you don't deserve him, sweetheart. So why are you still here, ruining my plans and making life difficult for everybody?" "Why? We both know that you are nothing but trash. And have you heard where the trash gets one ounce of happiness?" Her words still hurt every time I remembered them but now that I was mated to Damien and ha

Amelia's POV Bliss. I didn't know any other words that could adequately describe how I was feeling and bliss seemed to encapsulate all of my emotions being around Damien these past few days. It was nothing but bliss. It made me wonder if I was no longer dreaming and if this was just a really long dream that I was going to wake up from soon. "Am I dreaming?" I asked him as he cut an apple and fed me a piece. We were having a mini picnic in the woods and for the first time since I was forced to move to this new city, I didn't feel wary about being outside. I didn't feel a strange sense of panic thinking that this happiness could be snatched away from me at any time. The bane of my entire existence was dead and every time I remembered that he would no longer be able to trouble us again, I could not contain my joy. Finally, I would have a shot at happiness. Finally, I could begin life anew and start a family just like I had always wanted with the man that I loved wholeheartedly. I
